A core question of the conference: what drives competitive advantage in 2026 and beyond—talent and teams, or breakthrough technologies?
In this panel session, we explore Venture Capital (VC) and Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) strategies for investing in Deep Tech — AI, Robotics and commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Where do you source and validate high-potential opportunities, and how do you build a venture from prototype to scalable product? We will discuss go-to-market strategies, unit economics, defensibility (data, business models, IP), regulatory considerations, and what it takes to back a project capable of delivering 10x returns in the 2026–2030 horizon.
